Quick answer

To add subtitles to a video automatically, upload it to Kenerate's subtitles tool: it transcribes the speech and burns the captions into the video. Pick one of 10 styles — Simple, Plain, Glass, Whisper, Glide Pop, Fusion, Terminal, Lowkey, Rizz and Vegas — a position (top, middle or bottom), a shadow (off to max) and 720p or 1080p output. The spoken language can be auto-detected or pinned to one of 10 languages (US or Indian English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, Russian). Clips run up to 4 minutes, and the tool works with the 25 free sign-up credits. It's powered by VEED.

Tips

Captions people actually read

From our tests.

  • Bottom position for landscape, middle for vertical clips with UI.
  • Bold styles (Glide Pop, Rizz) for social; Simple or Plain for tutorials.
  • Pin the language when speakers have strong accents.
  • Add a shadow when the background is bright.
  • Clear audio beats everything — reduce music under speech.
  • Translate first with dubbing, then subtitle the new language.

Burned-in captions are part of the video; they can't be switched off by viewers.

Every clip on this page started as one still image. Make yours, then animate it.

In depth

Add Subtitles to Video, explained

What the models can do, how to prompt them, and what isn't allowed.

Burned-in vs closed captions

Burned-in (open) captions are part of the picture, so they show on every platform and autoplay feed — ideal for social clips watched on mute. Closed captions are a separate file viewers can switch on; YouTube and most players support them.

Picking a style

Bold, high-contrast styles like Glide Pop and Rizz grab attention in feeds; Simple and Plain suit tutorials and interviews; Glass and Whisper sit lightly over cinematic footage.
